Populate work order table fields

When you add the work order table in the Project Explorer, the Fields folder does not automatically contain fields. The Populate Fields operation adds representations of external work order table fields to the Fields folder. You can then configure the representations so that AVEVA™ Production Management can properly read from and insert data into the external work order table and display work order requests in AVEVA™ Production Management. You perform the Populate Fields operation for the work order table only once.

AVEVA™ Production Management derives the field names of the work order table from the field names of the external work order table. Consequently, AVEVA™ Production Management users see the same terminology that the business uses for work order requests.

Previous step: Before you can perform the Populate Fields operation, Add and configure a work order table.

1. In Project Explorer, right-click the Fields folder under the work order table, and then click Populate Fields. Representations of fields in the external work order table appear under the Fields folder.

   

2. On the Project menu, click Save.
